The heavens start from Changjin Lake

"Even though the next battle will be extremely difficult for us, even though many of us will have to sacrifice, and many of us will not see the day of victory."

Xia Yuan's voice suddenly turned from heavy to powerful.

"However, as long as we are in the area, the Japanese will not dare to act recklessly. We will turn into ghosts in the night and avenge the dead citizens of Jinling."

A seed of revenge was quietly buried in their hearts.

"Chief Xia, we are following you!"

The officers and soldiers of the training team were all convinced by Xia Yuan, and in the next chat, they also learned that the commander Xia in front of them was the once popular Songhu God of War.

His fighting ability is very strong.

How powerful.

Someone once calculated that as long as he was given enough ammunition, he could withstand the attack of a Japanese squadron by himself.

This is not a boast. He once led a squad of soldiers to defeat the attack of two Japanese squadrons and wiped out a large number of Japanese Japs.

Every battle thereafter, as long as this Songhu God of War participated, the results would be very fruitful.

Instructor Li was also deeply impressed by Xia Yuan's words, with a look of approval on his dark cheeks.

He told the brothers in the teaching team: "The Japanese have blocked the route out of the city. It will be difficult for us to break out no matter where we go. As for surrender, I swear not to be a slave to the subjugation of the country. Even if it means death, I will die on the battlefield."

"Death on the battlefield!"

The few remaining soldiers in the teaching team raised their fists, full of fighting spirit.

They retreated from Purple Mountain and encountered a large number of streets that had been raided by Japanese soldiers.

Houses were burned down by the Japanese army, and unarmed ordinary citizens were brutally murdered by the Japanese army. The Japanese army did not spare women and girls. No matter how old they were, they were first raped and then killed by these beasts. Their bodies were left naked on the streets or placed on display. at home.

Such madness makes most soldiers carry a flame of anger and revenge in their hearts.

In addition, Xia Yuan said before that the so-called surrender treatment promoted by the Japanese army and even the release of the city were purely to deceive them into surrendering. In fact, they were sent to a certain place for massacre.

As a result, everyone was filled with energy.

This energy will support them to fight the Japanese devils to the end.

Xia Yuan has become quite proficient in ideological mobilization. He knows very well what these soldiers need and what they don't need.

At present, the Japanese army has completely broken through Jinling City. As time goes by, a large number of Japanese troops completely enter Jinling and start a bloody massacre.

They are the last resistance force in this city.

If this last bit of power disappears, then Jinling will be completely abandoned.

Xia Yuan's thoughts gradually agreed with Jiang's. Jinling's fate of being conquered could not be changed. The only thing that could be changed was the world's view of Jinling after the lie of the Jinling Map was over.

He found Instructor Li and told Instructor Li his plan.

"Now the Japanese army entered Jinling and started a bloody massacre. They expected that the national army had completely abandoned Jinling and moved the capital to Sichuan. Little did they know that we are still in Jinling City. We must take the news of our existence out and report it to the outside world, so that the outside world can take advantage of the lone army. News of the revolt amplified.”

Instructor Li did not understand Xia Yuan's idea of ​​doing this.

So what if they are known to the outside world?

The most critical question is, if they can't break out themselves, how can they bring this news out.

Instructor Li is smoking. Quite puzzled by this.

Their strength was less than a company, and their only heavy firepower was the three crooked weapons captured by the Japanese. They also had Type [-], but they were discarded because they were inconvenient for movement.

What can such a uneven team do even if they bring their news out? It's a lot of thankless work.

The most critical point is that the Japanese army has more than [-] troops, and their more than [-] people can barely be regarded as a company.

Jinling is surrounded from all sides. Once their existence is discovered, they will soon be surrounded and suppressed by the Japanese army. In comparison, Instructor Li believes that it is much more cost-effective for them to hide in the dark, sneak attack the Japanese army, and eliminate the Japanese army. .

In the ruins, the smell of burning wood was very pungent. Xia Yuan used the remaining sparks from the fallen beams to light the cigarettes he found from the Japanese corpses.

Amidst the smoke.

He said: "We people can't get out, we will all die here."

Instructor Li nodded, his expression unclear on his dark cheeks.

Xia Yuan was not sure that he could survive in Jinling where corpses could easily pile up dozens of stories high.

He participated in countless wars, large and small, and killed countless people. He had a brush with death many times, but he had never truly experienced death.

Jinling is an indelible pain in the hearts of all Chinese people.

He did not have a good way to solve the Jinling crisis. This was what the Japanese army would inevitably experience since the Battle of Songhu began as the Japanese army advanced into the interior.

Xia Yuan sometimes wonders, what if he really changed history? The wings of butterflies are flapping, and no one can predict the future direction of the war of resistance.

After all, Chiang had always adopted a passive attitude of resistance to the war. Even after learning about the Jinling Massacre, he only said that he and Japan were sworn in, but did not take any action. He still placed his hope on international mediation.

The strategy that Xia Yuan had in mind was to publicize the current real situation in Jinling, and then reveal the news that the Chinese army also had a lone force resisting in the city. The international attitude towards the Sino-Japanese war would change significantly.

Just like the original Sihang Warehouse defense battle.

"If you die, you must die with value. This is what I think. The Japanese army is blocking Jinling. Their crimes are not known to the outside world at all. The people in Jinling City are in dire straits. We must send the news out no matter what. "

Xia Yuan put out his cigarette butt.

Instructor Li held the gun and was silent for a long time, and then said: "What should we do? Let's try to break out?"

Xia Yuan shook his head, already having a plan in his mind.

Since Instructor Li is here, Jinling Thirteen Hairpins are also there, and so are the group of female students.

If we could send them out and tell what happened in Jinling in their own words, it would be far more convincing than what they said as soldiers.

Winchester Church.

John, an American, packed a lot of flour with a piece of cloth and came to the church covered in dust.

His expression was a little funny. His body was covered with a layer of white flour, and he carried two flour strip bags filled with flour on his shoulders. He looked at the impact points of the bombs dropped by the Japanese aircraft on the ground with his waist.

"Father Engelmann, he flew away." George Chen had a trace of sadness on his face.

"Flying?"

John looked surprised, as if he didn’t understand what George Chen was talking about flying.

George Chen explained to him: "The Japanese plane dropped a bomb and blew up Father Engelmann."

George explained simply. John touched the bridge of his nose and said thoughtfully: "Even if there is no body, you still have to pay me." George Chen shook his head: "No."

John looked at him, "No, no, no, you have to pay me. This is a rule. I can't help it. You can't break the rules."

"I come from such a far away place, and the price is still higher."

He turned around and looked at the dilapidated church. While thinking about finding some valuable things from the church, he asked George Chen: "Is there any money in the church?"

George Chen kept shaking his head: "No, there is no money."

"Come on, there's money in the church, and this is a Catholic church."

Obviously, John didn't believe George's lies. He picked up the bag of flour on the ground and said, "There must be money, I have to look for it."

"No."

"No? What else can you say besides 'no'." John was not in a good mood. He risked his life all the way to come here to collect the body for Father Engelmann, but the body was not there and the money was not there. for myself.

George Chen followed John and passed a scrapped truck in the yard. He asked John hopefully: "Can you repair the truck?"

"Ah!?" John was stunned for a moment, stopped at the door and looked back at the truck lying in the yard.

"Help us, repair the truck and leave Jinling." George Chen stood in front of the scrapped truck.

"Repair the truck? Is it free?" John seemed to have heard something incredible and stepped forward to ask.

George Chen shook his head in embarrassment. He was so short of money now that he had not even paid the money to ask the other party to collect the body for burial.

John looked at the truck lying on the floor. All the parts on it were still there. It seemed that the damage was not serious. He said, "I can dismantle some parts and sell them. Do you have the tools?"

George Chen lowered his head, “No.”

"Huh?" John shrugged, quite disappointed: "Then let's go."

Without tools, not to mention repairing the car, even dismantling the tools is impossible.

He decided to search for some valuables in the Catholic church and leave.

But it was getting late, and if the conditions in the Catholic church were good, I might be able to stay here for one night.

Inside the Catholic Church.

A dozen female students wearing blue and gray cotton-padded jackets with short hair were pushing and arguing. The reason was that Meng Shujuan's father said that he could take them on a steamer to leave Jinling. Meng Shujuan led them to stay and wait for her father, but her father did not. When I waited, the Japanese devils came.

The Japanese army killed someone, including Wang Xiaozhen.

George Chen saw it and ran over quickly: "What are you doing? Stop fighting."

His body was also too thin and he couldn't pull them away at all. It was John who came and reluctantly pulled them apart and helped Meng Shujuan up from the ground.

Looking at the group of gray-faced female students in front of him, he said, "Hey, my name is John, and I'm from the United States."

George Chen looked at the crowd, fearing that they would not understand, so he said: "His name is John, and he is here to do the funeral for the priest."

John felt sympathy for this group of female students who had lost their homes and the country was in war. "I know this is not easy, but don't fight. We have seen enough tragedies today."

He threw the only valuable flour on his body on the ground and said, "I'll leave this flour for you to make some bread for the girl."

George Chen reminded from the side: "Steamed buns."

"Yes, Miantou." He waved to George Chen: "Let's go find the donation box."

George Chen had lived in the Catholic church since he was a child and knew that there was no money in the donation box, but he did not tell where the donation box was and allowed John to rummage through the boxes in the Catholic church to find it.

He searched all the corners on the first floor but couldn't find the donation box, so he asked George Chen: "Where is it?"

George Chen still shook his head, "No."

"That must be on the second floor."

John came upstairs and found that the environment was much better than the environment outside, and the decoration of the house was quite good. "Nice, I won't go back to the safe area. I will stay here tonight."

John was quite satisfied with the environment here. He lit a cigarette and started looking around the room leisurely.

A well-decorated room, money must be hidden here.

John was not in a hurry and started wandering around the room.

At this time, a team was quietly approaching the church.

This team is the last resistance army led by Xia Yuan, consisting of only more than [-] people.

The core members are Xia Yuan and Instructor Li, whose official positions are the largest among all.

Even though Xia Yuan did not have any official position, his excellent military strength and individual soldier skills were enough to impress these soldiers.

"Is this the church?"

The group of them hid in the ruins, and Instructor Li observed with the scope on the gun.

From a distance, I saw a group of Yingying Yanyan running out of the ruins on the other side of the street, wearing gorgeous coats and makeup, with a smell of dust on their bodies. They carried their suitcases and ran to the church door. A woman Wearing gloves, banging on the heavy door.

"Lao Gu, open the door for me quickly. I'm Hongling, do you hear me? Lao Gu, Lao Gu, I'm Hongling."

After beating for a long time, there was no movement in the church.

The people around me were a little suspicious and asked, "Have you really made an agreement with him?"

Hongling turned her head: "Nonsense, I won't say anything, but I will bring you here? Lao Gu, Lao Gu, open the door."

When George Chen heard the noise outside, he opened the doorway and saw a group of Qinhuaihe women. He said, "Go to the safe zone in the west quickly. Go to the safe zone quickly."

Hong Ling refused: "Who is going to the safe zone? We are looking for Lao Gu."

George Chen: "Lao Gu is not here, you go to the safe area."

"Why aren't you here? Go away!" Hong Ling said through gritted teeth: "Lao Gu told me that your church is protected by foreigners and little Japan can't get in at all. Damn it, coax me to serve him for one night and make an agreement to take in our sisters. , call out this bitch."

"Lao Gu is really not here, he ran away long ago."

"Why are you here when you are coaxing me?"

"He ran away early in the morning. You should go to the west safe zone as soon as possible." George Chen didn't want to get too entangled with these women. He had lived in Jinling for so long, so he knew where these women came from.

Instructor Li put down his gun and turned to look at Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan saw very clearly with his eagle eyes. He seemed to be aware of Instructor Li's gaze. He turned to look at Instructor Li, with a smile on his dark face: "Why are you looking at me? I didn't bring you here." Happy, the female students you rescued can run wherever they want, right here, we will rescue them, take everyone's suicide notes out, and also take out the bad things the Japanese devils did in Jinling City."

"The little Japs will be punished by God."
